What, a whole new model this year ? Possibly even 2 ?
I'll just wait and pick one of the 18 or so Android handsets coming this year. Or maybe the dozens that will arrive next year.
I can see what's going to happen here. I think the iPhone will become more like the Macs, and be the 'premium' device. Android phones will end up with the more numbers and so many of them will be available, from more expensive, quality models to more 'cheap and cheerful' ones.
Take the example of a friend of mine last month looking for his first ever smartphone. I recommended an iphone to him, for it's sheer simplicity and ease of use. After looking into it he decided against it ( he though it had too many restrictions as to what he can do) and decided to go with Android (HTC Magic). He realises that in a years time when he gets a new phone again, he'll have a wide selection of Android phones. Dylan
(Oh, and he absolutely loves his Magic and drives his fiancee nuts playing with it all the time !)
